Flexible brake line kits

[dingbat]

I need to replace the brake line on my front axle. I was going to replace with stainless brake tubing but I come to find that you can now purchase flexible brakes line that run from the coupler on back.

From my Engineering days, I know there is some nylon tubing systems around that would work but these appear to be just longer pieces of the rubber hose that you use to connect regular brake tubing to disc brakes.

Has anyone seen or used these flexible brake lines before? I boat exclusively in saltwater so anything that wouldn't be affected by the environment would certainly be advantageous for me to use. I just don?t want to compromise performance in the process

ez-loader brand trailers come with a flexable plastic brake line set up, had one for 5 years, no problems, unlike the roadrunner I own now,6 years and starting to get rusty

Stainless steel brake lines are the safest and are costly but IMO they are the best. No pressure lost so you are assured of 100% braking efficiency.

You might be able to have them made locally but Summit Racing sells them too....

I installed Stainless brakes lines on my last trailer. Never had a problem with them but the flex lines are intriguing. The flexible lines would solve a routing issue I have at the coupler.

You can get Stainless brake lines already made up for trailers from Champion trailers. The price is reasonable

The ones that I linked to were flexible stainless steel braided lines.
